The family running this guesthouse are the most wonderful people! We felt truly welcome and the owner could not have done more for us. He offered to pick us up from the bus stop and came to get us in his tuktuk after we climbed Pidurangala Rock. In the morning, we had a delicious and traditional homemade Sri Lankan breakfast with the perfect view of Lion Rock. Walking distance from the entrance to Sigirya - this is a wonderful place to stay for those on a budget and looking for an authentic Sri Lankan experience.

We had a room without AC (our fault, that's what we booked!). Needed windows open at night so really needed mosquito net to do it's job but there were several holes...

The location is very special with a view to the Lion's rock of Sigiriya. We took 3 rooms by the beautiful garden. Unfortunately only two of them had A/C and were recently refurbished which was a great added value. The owners speak English, they are very adorable, friendly and helping. We were very happy and thankful to exchange with you and get help for driving from place to place. The service is impeccable and we will never forget it.

Only for those who had the non A/C room, it was unfortunately quite rustic while the temperature at night can still be high. Since we only stayed for one night it was ok

We have booked the Resort for one night, but after meeting the owners and seeing how beautiful the place is we decided to stay another night 😁 We were offered every morning traditional SriLankian breakfast, which owners cook themselves. Jud, the owner have been so welcoming and friendly. As it was our first days in Sri Lanka, we had a plenty questions which he answered for us. If anyone looking for a stay in Sigiriya, don't go any further and book this Resort. You are not going to be disappointed. Highly recommend.💞

UG and his family are amazing hosts, they cannot do enough for you , we had dinner there 2 nights , first night was fried rice , next night a curry feast.UG has a tuk tuk and we had him drive us to our next stay, he’s a steady driver. The stay is walking distance to the entrance of Lion Rock. UG organised a local safari driver and we saw over 25 elephants close up in the local reserve, it cost $65 for 2 and we had the truck to ourselves. The accommodation is home stay level and has a fan and hot shower. The breakfast is pancakes and roti and fruit, in the evening UG sat we us and told us so much about Sri Lanka and it’s culture and social issues. A great host who is a kind considerate man. I would definitely recommend the place and stay there again

We stayed at Sigiriya Rock Gate Resort for 3 nights and had a great time. The rooms are clean, comfortable and great value for money given the location. UG was an amazing host and always went out his way for us. He organised a safari tour and a day trip to Polonnaruwa for us and cooked the best breakfast we had in our whole Sri Lanka trip!

Nestled amidst the historical grandeur of Sigiriya, my stay at the Rock Gate Resort was an unforgettable experience that combined modern comforts with a sense of awe-inspiring antiquity. From the moment I stepped foot on the premises until the day of my departure, I was thoroughly impressed by the resort's attention to detail and commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience. The WiFi at Sigiriya Rock Gate Resort was surprisingly excellent. Considering the remote location of the resort, I was delighted to find that the internet connection was fast and reliable. Whether I needed to catch up on work emails, share photos with loved ones, or simply browse the web, the WiFi never faltered, allowing me to stay connected seamlessly throughout my stay. The hosts at Rock Gate Resort were incredibly warm and hospitable, making me feel right at home from the very start. They greeted me with genuine smiles and took care of every detail to ensure my comfort. Whether it was offering insights into the local attractions or arranging transportation for sightseeing, they were always ready to assist. Their passion for their culture and willingness to share stories about the area added an extra layer of richness to my visit. The bed in my room was nothing short of heavenly. After a day of exploring the nearby Sigiriya Rock Fortress and other historical sites, sinking into the plush mattress felt like a dream come true. The room itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and tastefully decorated with subtle nods to the region's heritage. It provided a serene haven where I could recharge for the next day's adventures. Beyond the comfort of the accommodation, the location of Sigiriya Rock Gate Resort was unbeatable. With the majestic Sigiriya Rock as its backdrop, the scenery was truly mesmerizing. Waking up to the sight of the ancient rock formation from my window was a privilege that I will cherish for years to come.

Situated amidst nature's splendor, with stunning views of Sigiriya Rock, the resort provided a picturesque backdrop for a relaxing and memorable vacation. Being so close to this iconic attraction allowed me to explore it at different times of the day, avoiding the crowds and truly savoring its beauty. The beds at the resort were nothing short of heavenly. After a day of sightseeing, coming back to such a cozy and inviting bed was a pure delight. I slept like a baby, and it helped me recharge for the next day's adventures. The well-maintained garden added an extra touch of tranquility to the resort.

The owner of Sigiriya Rock Gate Resort played a pivotal role in making my stay truly exceptional. Their warm and accommodating nature made me feel right at home.

The variety of dishes offered was impressive, and each one was a delightful discovery for my taste buds. One of the standout moments of my stay was the complimentary ride to the Sigiriya Lion rock provided by the resort.

Our host and his family were very nice, helpful and friendly. They arranged our visit to Sigiriya Rock and our transfer to Polonaruwa. We stayed in the treehouse which was lovely and quiet with nice view. The dining area is away from the other building and has a nice view of the Rock. A great place to stay if you want to walk to the Rock. The wifi was not very good when we were there.

UG.and his family are so lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. We had delicious food every evening and he helped plan trips (including elephant safari where we saw loads of elephants). The setting is really great and you can see the rock from the garden. The rooms are clean and well presented. In all the whole stay was a wonderful experience where you really feel part of Sri Lankan life. Definitely visit!

We loved our stay at rock gate resort. The rooms were nice and clean and the view on the lion rock from the garden is beautiful, but what really made our experience great in Sigiriya were the host and his family. He offered his tuktuk to drive us around and arranged an amazing lunch and breakfast. In general he was very helpful! We are very grateful to have stayed here and would recommend it to everyone!
